Nine cotton growing soils located on Deoli, Wardha, Karanja, Ashti tehsils of Wardha district, Maharashtra was characterized. Horizon-wise soil samples were collected and studied for morphological, physical and chemical properties. The soils were brown to very dark gray in colour, shallow (31 cm) to very deep (150 cm), silty clay loam to clay in texture, imperfectly to well drained and most of the soils had sub-angular blocky structure in the B horizon with a few of them having pressure faces and slickensides. The soil had mildly alkaline to strongly alkaline, all these soils were non-saline, organic carbon was low and decreased with depth, high CEC with calcium as dominant cation on exchange complex. These soils were classified as Typic Haplusterts, Typic Calciusterts, Typic Haplustepts, Typic Calciustepts and Lithic Ustorthents at subgroup level.Keywords

The present investigation was carried out for evaluation of the status of DTPA-Fe, Mn, Cu and Zn in relation with physico-chemical properties in soils of Wardha district. Total 75 surface soil samples were collected and analysed for soil properties and fertility status of study area. The results revealed that the soils are neutral to strongly alkaline in soil reaction, safe in electrical conductivity, low to high in organic carbon content and high cation exchange capacity.Soils were sufficient in DTPA-extractable micronutrient cations except zinc which was found deficient in nearly 44 per cent of the samples. Pearson correlation co-efficients indicated positive correlation of DTPA-extractable micronutrient cations with organic carbon and negative correlation with pH, EC and no significant relationship of DTPA-Mn, Cu, Zn was found with CEC.Keywords

A study was carried out to determine the status and distribution of extractable micronutrients zinc (Zn), cupper (Cu), iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) along a toposequence at Nagpur district, Maharashtra. The twelve profile pits were dug along upper, mid and lower slope positions and soil samples taken from identified horizons were subjected to laboratory analysis. The results show that in toposequence-I, pH of soils ranged from 6.8 to 8.7 indicating slightly neutral to moderately alkaline soil reaction. The EC of the soils in toposequence-I varied from 0.14 to 0.34 dSm-1 and in toposequence-II, it varied from 0.10 to 0.46 dSmv indicating low soluble salt content. Organic carbon content in toposequence-I ranged from 3.10 to 18.77 g kg-1 while in toposequence-II, it ranged from 1.55 to 12.77 g kg-1 and gradually decreased with depth. Exchangeable cations followed the order: Ca2+>Mg2+>Na+>K+ in all the pedons of both the toposequences indicating dominance of calcium bearing minerals in the parent material. Cation exchange capacity in toposequence-I varied from 35.6 to 69.0 cmol (p+) kg-1 while in toposequence-II, it varied from 37.8 to 67.2 cmol (p+) kg-1. Base saturation of toposequence-I varied from 91 to 127 per cent while in toposequence-II, it varied from 89 to 105 per cent. The DTPA extractable micronutrients followed the order: Mn2+>Fe2+>Cu2+>Zn2+ in toposequence-I and Fe2+>Cu2+>Mn2+>Zn2+ in toposequence-II. Almost all the soils of both the toposequences were deficient in Zn2+, respectively.Keywords

In the present study, soil-site suitability evaluation was made for the Nagalvadi micro-watershed of Wardha district for chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). Five soil series representing major land forms of Nagalvadi micro-watershed were evaluated for their suitability to chickpea cultivation using limitation method regarding number and intensity of limitations. The study suggests that chickpea is moderately suitable in soils of NG-2 and NG-5 but soils of NG-1, NG-3 and NG-4 are not suitable for chickpea cultivation. Soil depth, wetness (drainage), texture, coarse fragments, soil pH and organic carbon are the major limitations for crop growth in the most of soils of Nagalvadi micro-watershed. The suitability classes can be improved if the correctable limitations (soil fertility characteristics) are altered through application of farm yard manure, green manuring and inclusion of legumes rotation.Keywords
